PLANS INCLUDE TOWN HALL MEETINGS Continued from page 1
but of a new era for North Grenville." She disclosed that Coun. Jim McManaman has been selected as soon-to-be deputy mayor, and expressed sincere appreciation to outgoing council members and mayor, all of whom worked tirelessly to help build North Grenville. "We are here on their shoulders," she said. Peckford said the new council believes that North Grenville is on the cusp of great change, and that work needs to be done differently. Since the election, she noted the new council has been working collaboratively to build a foundation for that change, as they recognize the opportunity to invest in the community and in each other. Residents can look forward to more opportunities to help change how business is done in North Grenville, as the new council has already committed to hosting a town hall every month in addition to regular council meetings. McManaman confirmed the new council will be introducing a new structure for council and committee of the whole meetings, beginning with the new town hall session once a month, followed by two committee of the whole meetings, and then a council meeting. "After we get our information from the town hall meetings, we will have two committee of the whole meetings just to talk about everything, and then devise what we're going to do," he said. "That way, the public has a better chance to come and see us - three opportunities to talk before decisions are made." McManaman also stated that among the new committees, council has discussed a new one focused on environmental issues such as waste disposal. The town hall meetings will take place in different locations and rural hamlets throughout the year. "It's time we brought the municipality to you, rather than you always having to

In her speech, Peckford announced the creation of new committees of council for youth, affordable housing, and agriculture. come to the municipality," said Peckford. Council and committee of the whole will also be changed from Monday to Tuesday evenings. Peckford said council will strengthen their efforts to use other forms of communication, including social media, to offer more opportunities for residents to be involved and engaged as not everyone can physically attend meetings. She confirmed a request has already been made to review the 2018 budget to see if the scheduled two per cent increase is necessary. Peckford also announced a public work plan for the new council, as well as the establishment of a mayoral task force on affordable housing. Other initiatives to come include the establishment of a mayoral task force on affordable housing. "We have to find a way to ensure that no young person finds themselves homeless in our community, young families have the room they need to grow,
and seniors who've raised a family here and have contributed over decades are not forced to leave," Peckford commented. She vowed that she will also establish a youth advisory council to facilitate opportunities for diverse and dynamic young people to provide advice to council and select municipal committees. "We will also be bringing back and revitalizing the municipal, rural and agricultural affairs committee to pay homage and to leverage our deep and sustained rural roots," Peckford added. “The new council will be reviewing the plan for the Kemptville Campus to ensure it fulfills its objectives as a community asset and a place for agricultural innovation. "In this new era, we have an ambitious agenda which is directly informed by your experiences and your priorities," said Peckford. "It has the potential to make our already wonderful community that much better."
CONSERVATIVE HOLD AS MICHAEL BARRETT RETAINS GORD BROWN'S OLD SEAT DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Michael Barrett has been elected as the new Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. He defeated Liberal candidate Mary Jean McFall in the Monday, Dec. 3 byelection, held to fill the seat by the late Conservative MP Gord Brown, who died of a heart attack on May 2. With all 238 polls reporting, and turnout of only 35.89 per cent, Barrett received 16,865 votes to McFall's 10,443, according to the Elections Canada website.

Barrett asked the cheering crowd at his campaign headquarters in Brockville. He commended McFall and the other candidates running for "a very competitive and a very respectful race." McFall had called him earlier in the evening to congratulate him. He also fielded a call from Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer. He promised that "in 2019, Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party will make Justin Trudeau a one-term prime minister." Trudeau has not yet moved into the house he grew up in as a child, and

Brown did a masterful job while in office, and he promised that he would "honour Gord's legacy," in a way that would make him proud. For those who did not vote for him, he said "I will be your representative,"

to the Trudeau government's carbon tax, while pledging to bring in "responsible environmental policies." He also said a Conservative government would bring in "secure borders," which would still stress the importance of immigration, but in a way that was "planned, costed, and makes sense, and helps our economy." Liberals regroup Downtown, the mood at The Keystone Pub was more sombre as Liberals gathered. McFall agreed with Barrett that "it was a very respectful, well-run campaign," she said. "We brought issues out that people cared about." Trudeau visited both Kemptville and Brockville during the byelection. People she saw were "absolutely thrilled to see him," and she believes that many people are "proud of the manner he is running the country." She said it is too soon to tell if she will run as the Liberal candidate in the 2019 election. "Tomorrow is another day," she said.

The Old Town Kemptville BIA (Business Improvement Area) has been working hard to organize another fun downtown event. Kids' Christmas Downtown, set for Saturday, Dec. 8, will celebrate the holiday season with horse-drawn wagon rides, a scavenger hunt, marshmallow roasting over open fire, carolling, and more. The festivities will be held throughout downtown Kemptville from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For the special event, an Elfie Selfie challenge has been initiated during the week of Dec. 1 to Dec. 8. At local participating businesses, elves are hiding. If you spot one, be sure to take a photo with it and post it on Facebook with the hashtag #elfieselfie for a chance to win free skating passes from the municipality. On Dec. 8, fire barrels will be supervised by members of the North Grenville Fire Service at Rotary Park and the post office, where you can roast marshmallows over open fire and enjoy complimentary s'mores. On your stroll through the downtown core, take part in the Scavenger Hunt and see if you can Spot the Elf at participating businesses. The stops will be marked with a 'participating merchant' sign displayed in the storefronts. There are 15 places to check out this year that will be

"The event committee is eight or nine people, including support from the municipality," he said. "Everything from the wagon rides to the marshmallows for roasting has been sponsored or do-
nated by local businesses." Wagon ride pickup and drop-off locations will be at the former North Grenville District High School parking lot, Rotary Park, and the B&H: Your Community Grocer parking lot. Other participating businesses include the Salvation Army, Yazdani Family Dentistry, South Branch Bistro, SuGold Jewellers & Giftware, Mr. Mozzarella, Geronimo, Willow & Rose, WGP Professional Corporation, Grahame's Bakery, Salamanders, and To Be Continued, where kids can 'make & take' their own silly putty and pick up a loot bag.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY LEADER ANDREW SCHEER VISITS GRAHAME'S BAKERY SCHEER AND LOCAL MP CANDIDATE MICHAEL BARRETT DISCUSSED SMALL BUSINESS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com The third political party leader to visit Kemptville this month was Conservative Andrew Scheer. To show his support for local Conservative MP candidate, Michael Barrett, Scheer visited Grahame's Bakery. Barrett would go on to claim late MP Gord Brown's seat in the Dec. 3 byelection. Rick Grahame and his sister Debbie Wilson own the bakery. Grahame introduced his guests to the heritage wood-fired oven that has produced baked goods since 1885, like the bakery's famous doughnuts. The fire in the oven is lit for one hour every morning and the heat lasts all day. "It's soft wood, so it burns fast and you can bake all day on that,"
Grahame explained. "How efficient is that?" "It's very efficient," Scheer replied. "It's radiating heat, it's fascinating," he put his hand on the bakery's brick wall. "Old fashioned technology that still works." Scheer took the opportunity to try his hand at pulling fresh bread out of the oven with a long baker's stick, and was shocked to learn that Grahame had started his day at 2:30 that morning to get the day's baking underway. "So, Rick and his family are classic examples of business owners across Leeds - Grenville Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes who work tirelessly, from before most of us are out of bed until we're on our way home from work, providing a service to the community, and employing people," said Barrett. Scheer agreed. "Everything is sold out of here, but we do look after a lot of local restaurants," Grahame said. "The girl who provided the coffee for us today gets our bread, there's the Brigadoon Restaurant, O'Heaphy's Pub in town
Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland Rick Grahame helps Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer pulls some fresh bread out of the heritage wood-fired oven at Grahame's Bakery in Kemptville during his visit on Nov. 30th. here, a location in Prescott ..." Barrett explained that the bakery is well known locally, and that he and Scheer would be taking some treats with them to their next stop in Brockville. "Is Steve Clark going to be in Brockville?" Grahame asked.
"You better save him one fritter." Before their departure, Barrett and Scheer took photos with residents and discussed their concerns, touching on tax rates, pipeline projects, and support for farmers. One resident who came to
meet Scheer was local dairy farmer, Yann Bossel, with his four-year-old son, Luke. While discussing dairy exports, Scheer said the most outrageous part of the government's deal on dairy is the cap on Canadian exports to other countries. "We're now limited on what we can sell to the Middle East, and to Africa," he said. Scheer also spoke briefly about potential pipeline projects. "I announced the plan a few weeks ago on how to get pipelines built, that would actually get Trans Mountain built." He also said the Conservatives believe the Trans Mountain pipeline won't be enough. "We need a pipeline that would get Western energy to Eastern markets." "We lost 4 billion dollars buying Kinder Morgan, and I've got nothing for it," Bossel replied. "We could've built refineries. We could've put the engine to work. We've got a vast country. We're the most blessed country in the world, full of natural resources... We need to find a way to get our resources to market."

CHILD POVERTY A STRUGGLE IN THE OTTAWA VALLEY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com

Have your say
What should we write about next? editing@insideottawavalley.com
This is the 1st in a 4-part T series exploring different aspects of poverty in the Otttawa Valley, Lanark Countty and Leeds-Grenville, ffrom the struggles families fface to make ends meet to the services that are available tto assist them across the region. Bills first, then food, their daughter's needs, and, if any money is left over they think about getting something for themselves. That is the formula Clinton and Rachel Deyell have ffollowed as they struggle to raise a child in poverty in the Ottawa valley. His regular cheque from Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) - the result of a congenital disorder afffecting his spine - covers their rent in a low-income Renfrew neighbourhood. Her earnings from Canadian Tire cover the rest. It's enough at the moment to get by but living close to the bone can take a toll on the best of relationships. "It can be a little hard but one thing we agree on is our daughter comes first," Clinton said. "We don't hide the fact from her that we don't have any money. There are things she can't have or that we have to save a long time." Getting by is one thing, but not being able to plan for the future is frustrating. If he worked, the pain could render him immobile for two, three, or more days.
THE ISSUE: CHILD POVERTY IN THE OTTAWA VALLEY LOCAL IMPACT: FAMILIES STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET
Employers need more dependability than that. And the medications would be upped, costing even more. Right now, if Rachel works above part-time it would threaten his medication coverage. Anything she made would go to his costs. "It wouldn't make any sense," she said. The question for the Deyells is whether the Doug Ford PC government's welfare system revamp will make it easier to raise their 10-year-old or is it just another shell game politicians play to impress the general public. "We don't know right now until we get more answers," Clinton said. "It looks like they are giving you more at the front end but taking more at the back." Peter Emon confirms their suspicions: it won't help children in poverty. "I don't believe it will," said Renfrew's reeve who is a longtime social worker. "It's not substantial enough to have an impact on the lives of children and families living in poverty." Emon is hopeful Children, Community and Social Services minister Lisa

Metroland graphic MacLeod is open to consultations and will consider the differing situations ffaced outside the Greater Toronto Area. Especially as it impacts people in and around small towns where any savings in lowering housing costs are more than offset, he said, in higher transportation costs. MacLeod's approach is to not plug an injection of new money into the system that supports one million Ontarians, but to find greater cost efficiencies. Changes include moving some people from disabili-
ty to Ontario Works in a bid to more closely align with ffederal guidelines. MacLeod said it will provide "clarity" but the Deyells would prefer to keep ODSP over moving to Ontario Works (known to contribW ute less to recipients). One thing everyone can agree on is that statistics showing the number of
children living in poverty are alarming. Renfrew tops the list in its county, which has Emon looking into fforming a committee to address the issue. Clinton wishes them well. In the meantime, he and Rachel agree on one thing above all else. "We are lucky to have (our daughter)," Clinton

The Hinton Auto Group's Build a Mountain of Food drive was in Westport and Elgin on Dec. 1, where more than $10,000 was collected in cash donations for the two food banks. "There was lots of community involvement in Westport and Elgin," said Hugh Colton, the organizer of the annual food drive that covers 11 communities over a six-week road trip. "I'm happy. The community again has been overwhelmingly generous. They are caring people and I appreciate their support and confidence in this and their trust in this campaign." In Westport during the morning hours, 2,355 pounds of food were collected at Kudrinko's grocery store, along with $4,190 in cash donations, which were delivered to the Westport Food Bank. The afternoon was spent at Gordanier's in Elgin where another 1,305 pounds of food were collected and an impressive $6,011.25 for the Elgin Food Bank. That brings our running total for the campaign after four weeks on the road to 173,410 pounds of food, and $36,012.21 in cash donations. Last week, Colton also made stops with the BAM float at CP Holiday Train events: One in Smiths Falls and the other in Perth, as well as two parades in Perth and Athens. "It Perth, we got another 2,374 pounds of food, which filled 76 banana boxes," he said. "And in Smiths Falls we got a bunch of food, about 2,700 pounds, and a bunch more cash." Colton was also out at the Perth Festival of Lights on Friday night with the holiday float. This Saturday, Dec. 8, the BAM road tour will hit Portland from 9 a.m. to noon and be set up at the LCBO and RBC bank. This part of the drive will support the Portland Food Bank. From 1 to 4 p.m., the crew will head to Merrickville and be set up at the Merrickville Food Market. Food and cash donations will support the Merrickville Lions' Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. Saturday evening, the BAM float will be in the Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade, starting at 5 p.m. from the Youth Arena.

OPINION
ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, IMPAIRED IS IMPAIRED Every year, the OPP embarks on a traffic blitz at this time, designed to curb motorists' bad or even criminal behaviours. Sometimes the statistics go up, other times they may go down. Regardless, the Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program proves there are still far too many people willing to risk their lives and those of others by climbing behind the wheel while intoxicated. This year's campaign began on Nov. 23 and continues through the holiday season. Across the province, including here in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties, the Ontario Provincial Police will be conducting regular spot checks to make our roads and highways safer for everyone. So far, 2018 has not been a banner year in Ontario. On highways patrolled by the OPP, 39 people have lost their lives in collisions where alcohol or drugs were determined to be a factor. This according to the latest statistics from the agency itself. And from Jan. 1 to mid October of this year, in excess of 6,700 charges for impaired driving were laid. Of those, 283 were charges of impaired by drugs. "Drivers who consume cannabis and think they can avoid detection by the OPP need to think again," Rose DiMarco, the OPP's Interim Deputy Commissioner, said in a release. "The OPP has a strong set of tools and skills that enable them to take drug- and alcoholimpaired drivers off our roads. Whether a person is driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, impaired is impaired. Both forms are dangerous, serious criminal offences, and they carry similar penalties." Just because cannabis is legal doesn't mean it's open season where driving is concerned. Cannabis in vehicles must be in its original, unopened package or in a bag that's not readily available to anyone in the vehicle. In addition to getting dangerous drivers off the road, the campaign also aims to send a message again! - that if you choose to use cannabis or drink and drive, you will be caught, you will have your licence suspended and you'll likely spend time in jail. And that's if you're fortunate enough not to have killed someone as a result of your foolishness. There's really no excuse when there are so many safe options at your disposal. Have a designated driver before you head out. Call on a friend or a free ride service like Operation Red Nose. Or hail a cab after the office party or fun night at the pub. They all work. Be smart this season and prepare before heading out. Your life might well depend on it.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY LOCAL NEWSPAPER THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY DEAR EDITOR:
Your November 22 edition was very concerning, as to the fate of community newspapers in the foreseeable future. It had a story on a project that I am currently working on. The Salvation Army had their annual Christmas Kettle Campaign kickoff in Carleton Place, you were there to cover the story. Without your story and coverage on the event we would have less volunteers and less people donating to this very worthwhile cause. The campaign wouldn't be as successful. In July, I helped to run the Children's Fishing Derby. You ran the preevent story, that got the word out and sent a reporter to cover the event. We didn't have a budget and everything was donated, including your coverage. Without your support the event wouldn't happen. I have run many projects over the past 30 years and the local newspapers always covered the stories.
Without that coverage, the projects wouldn't have happened. The local newspaper is the voice of the community. It covers and promotes, thousands of events for many non-profit organizations. We need its customers' support. Without the customer, we don't exist and nothing happens. Support your local business. Support our local newspaper.
GARY STRIKE, CARLETON PLACE
NEWSPAPERS ARE DEMOCRACY'S OXYGEN DEAR EDITOR:
Just a short note to let your now how much I enjoyed, and benefited from, reading all the pro-newspaper articles in your Nov. 22 edition. I enjoyed meeting all the local journalists, and was encouraged by all the other articles that spoke to the value of newspapers in any community. Without an informed citizenry, our system of government cannot survive - it's a simple as
that. And newspapers are a vital source of information for all of us. I once heard newspapers referred to as "democracy's oxygen." If that's the case, and I have no reason to doubt it, then I am glad that we are so well served in our community.
KERRY BADGLEY, KEMPTVILLE
THANKS TO MPP HILLIER DEAR EDITOR:
Kudos to Randy Hillier. I contacted him recently to make him aware of my opinion on recent changes to the labour code. He contacted my directly by phone and we had a polite discussion. It is nice to see our elected representative take the time to respond to constituents concerns.

KEMPTVILLE GETS FESTIVE AT INAUGURAL SANTA SHUFFLE PEEWEE GIRLS HOCKEY TEAM RAISES MORE THAN $1,000 EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Runners rocked their best reds, whites and greens for the inaugural Santa Shuffle in Kemptville. Some 90 runners took off at the Ferguson Forest Centre on Saturday, Dec. 1, for the fun run - a popular fundraiser that's been held at 38 locations across Canada for nearly 30 years, with roughly 1,600 runners annually, that has now finally made its way to North Grenville. "It's awesome," said race director, Laura Valcour. "Look at the turnout." Proceeds from the Santa Shuffle will go to support community outreach programs that are offered by the Salvation Army
throughout the year. All of the proceeds raised through the event will stay locally in the North Grenville community. Newly elected North Grenville Mayor Nancy Peckford was in attendance at the race. Peckford said she was glad to see the community come out for the inaugural event, and is excited that this will become an annual run. She made special mention of the Kemptville Storm peewee house-league hockey team who worked to raise more than $1,000 for this event. "We appreciate what you do in the community," she said. The Storm peewee team, who has partnered with Myers Kemptville Chevrolet Buick GMC, has raised $1,300 for the Salvation Army through the Santa Shuffle. The team is vying for the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup, which, if they win, could yield $100,000 to the charity of
Evelyn Harford/Metroland Runners take part in the inaugural Santa Shuffle held in Kemptville at the Ferguson Forest Centre on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018. the team's choice. "This is the first of our journey," said Diana Hodgson, the team's assistant manager. "The girls did it all." Next week, the team will be volunteering at the kettles around Kemptville for the Salvation Army's annual Kettle Campaign. On Sunday, Dec. 9, they'll be at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 212, collecting letters that will be sent to Canadian troops. People can drop their letters off between 10 a.m. and
2 p.m. The team will also be helping elderly people at Bayfield Manor with their Christmas wrapping. "It's just to teach the girls that everybody gives a little and to help out the community when you can," said team manager, Marie MacLean. MacLean says she hopes the lesson the girls learn through competing for the cup is that giving can be much better than receiving. The totals raised for the
Salvation Army through the Santa Shuffle were not known on Saturday after the race departed.
The Kemptville Advance will update the story when the money raised has been tallied.

This year, residents of the village of Merrickville-Wolford raised $4,000 along with their generous food donations. The proceeds are given to the Merrickville-Wolford Emergency Food Cupboard, House of Lazarus (Mountain), and the South Grenville food banks in Prescott, Cardinal, and Spencerville.

MARK THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH 'MESSIAH' DEC. 8 A classical musical performance of Handel's Messiah will be performed in Kemptville on Dec. 8 at St. James Anglican Church at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. This work is in English, unlike most choral music written during the baroque period. Based on scripture, the words in Messiah were written at a time when religious music
was most appropriate for the Lenten season; the 40 days before Easter when people were reflecting, fasting, and praying. In more recent times, Messiah and its famous Hallelujah chorus is most often performed at Christmas time. The North Grenville Concert Choir (NGCC) is a community group of singers
that were initially formed in 1997 to perform Messiah with members of Divertimento Orchestra of Ottawa. They have sung Messiah 14 times over the years, as well as works by Gilbert and Sullivan, Broadway hits and other classical pieces, including Bach's Magnificat and masses by Mozart and Vierne; they also sang with
the Kemptville Youth Musical Theater Company (KYMTC) last year in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Although this is a community group that sings for fun, the fun will really be had by the audience. A selection from Messiah has been chosen to highlight the talents of the choir, the guest soloists, and the members of
the Divertimento Orchestra. A third performance will be held Sunday, Dec. 9 at 3 p.m. at Woodroffe United Church. Tickets are available online at ngcc.eventbrite.ca, at Brewed Awakenings in Kemptville or at the door. For more information, visit www.ngcc.net. Submitted by the North Grenville Concert Choir

SALVATION ARMY BENEFITS FROM 100 WOMEN WHO CARE At the Nov. 15 meeting, 100 Women Who Care North Grenville chose the Kemptville Salvation Army as the latest fundraising recipient. Pastor Erin Wong presented on behalf of the Salvation Army to explain all the great programs that they offer in the community. There were 54 women (plus one man, Billy Gutknecht), gathered in the main room at eQuinelle Golf Club, whom is one of the many sponsors of the event. Door prizes were donated by Rachel and Carole Jansen of Jansen Law, Cyndy Batchelor of O'Farrell Financial Services and an Auriculotherapy session donated by Marie Russell. Natalie Castellas of Catered Affairs provided a wonderful hot meal for the group, by donation only. More than $300 was raised from the meal to assist in covering the group's administrative expenses. Castellas has been a proud community supporter for many years, and has joined the membership of the group. Representatives from this quarter's three nominated charities, provided an update on their initiatives so the members could make an informed vote. Brenda Burich, of Neon Night Kemptville, also gave a report on how the funds received last quarter were utilized for the Wheels of Hope volunteers, which drive cancer patients to and from their appointments. The room was filled with a sense of pride knowing the 100 Women Who Care North Grenville is making a difference in the community. The 100 Women Who Care North Grenville group announced two new leading ladies, Tracy McDonald of CSE Consulting and Samantha Rivet-Stevenson of RBC Financial. These ladies are pillars in the community and look forward to helping the 100 Women Who Care to grow and prosper. Thanks were extended to past executive members, Ashley Vincent and Diana Fisher. They were instrumental in getting the organization off the ground. Current leading ladies staying on are Dawn Rodger, Su Ouellette and Anne Kotlarchuk. As of the last meeting, the 100 Women Who Care

FALL FOR THEATRE NIGHT IN MERRICKVILLE DEC. 7-9 This weekend (Dec. 7-9), we invite you to enjoy the Fall for Theatre production of a Trio of One-Act Plays by Merrickville's awardwinning community theatre group - satisfying audiences for 44 years. The program begins with Rideau Interlude, an original play penned by our own Margaret Shearman, based on an event that she and her husband lived some 20 years ago, when two children appeared on their riverside doorstep, in search of an errant parent and seeking sanctuary
from a chaotic family situation. This slice of life drama, directed by Helen Steenburgh, premiered at a private showing in Ottawa and was recently lauded at the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Festival in Kingston, in competition against eight other community theatre groups. The production received nominations from the adjudicator in six out of 14 award categories. Congratulations are due to our friends at Studio Theatre in Perth for their excellent entry.
The second play in the trio, Time Flies, will give theatregoers a brief glimpse into the dating life of two lucky mayflies: in addition to meeting each other, they also get to be featured on television, with commentary by David Attenborough! Come to our pond and enjoy this very short but very funny play written by David Ives and directed by Connie Coleman. Connie advises that, given the subject matter, this play is rated PG. Peter Boire directs our third play of the trio, The

LIKE10 DANCE COMPANY OFFERS BALLET, JAZZ, TAP Continued from Page 15
Arts Centre (NAC) stage at the age of 14 with the Alberta Ballet. As a certified dance instructor, MacDonald will apply her learning from workshops with Blake McGrath, Madonna's principal dancer, and Justin Timberlake's choreographer in her classes. After undergoing recent major hip surgery, MacDonald's flexibility has been limited, as well as her ability to dance professionally, but it won't keep her from her passion. "I know exactly what I want and how I want my studio to run," she said. "This has been my goal for so long." MacDonald's mother, Donna, says she's proud to see her daughter following through with her dream despite her hip surgery. During the healing process, MacDonald obtained her dance instructor certification and has also enrolled in the business program at
Algonquin College. "My end goal was always to have my own studio, so it's happening sooner than I thought, but I'm still really happy," said MacDonald. "I'm never going to stop dancing." MacDonald plans to continue taking master classes in order to stay upto-date on what's being taught and how other instructors deliver their lessons. Though she's trained in most styles of dance, MacDonald's focus was primarily on ballet, which she says is the foundation of all dancing. "You can incorporate it into any style of dance," she said. During the week, Like10 Dance Company will offer ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, hip hop, and acro classes from 5 to 9 p.m. MacDonald says the acro class is like gymnastics and dance combined. She will also teach a jumps and turns class where dancers can learn more technique, and a fitness class, as com-
petitive dancers need to keep in shape to perform their best. "We're also hoping to offer a special needs class," said Donna. "We've had a request, so we'll see how much interest there is in that. Even if we only have one kid, we'll run the class, because it's important, and there aren't a lot of classes like that offered out here." During weekdays, McDonald will also be offering a Mommy and Me class for mothers to bring their babies in with them, as well as pre-dance classes on Saturday mornings for dancers between two and four years of age. MacDonald plans to bring another instructor in to the studio to help with the classes. "I only want certified dance instructors teaching here," she said firmly. "I myself am certified, and that's really important to me, so that the kids are taught properly and learn the proper techniques." When she started danc-
ing, MacDonald didn't have a certified dance instructor, which resulted in her not being familiar with many things she was expected to know already when she entered master classes with the 'big' ballet schools. "I didn't know what they were talking about - they were asking me to do things that I hadn't learned. I
wasn't familiar with the terminology," she said. The new studio space is currently undergoing renovations as MacDonald is working on getting mirrors installed across the wall, a proper dance floor with some bounce, and bars along the walls for the ballet classes. The new space is also equipped with a

change room, bathroom, and kitchenette, and the building is fully accessible. Like10 Dance studio is stocked with dancing shoes for ballet, jazz and tap, as well as leotards with a variety of sleeve lengths. Class registration dates are Saturday, Dec. 8 and Sunday, Dec. 9 from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.like10dance.com, call 613-240-6968, or email like10dance@outlook.com.

Cryderman, Karl
Sadly and peacefully Karl passed away in his Kemptville home September 30th, 2018 in his 93rd year. He is very much missed by his three sons, David, Allan and Mark, their wives, his three grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Karl was born in Ingleside area and helped work the Cryderman family farm until it was displaced from Farran’s Point when the St. Lawrence Seaway went though. The Cryderman family then moved to Osnabruck Centre just north of Ingleside where they continued to farm and build barns for their neighbours. As a young man, Karl left the family farm one summer and traveled by train to western Canada to work harvesting on different farms. This may be were his curiosity and love for travel started and how much he enjoyed working. He was always fixing or mcgivering something creative. Always busy! Karl met his sweetheart, Ellen Stewart and they married in September 1949. They were married 67 years before his beloved wife passed away in 2017. Karl and Ellen decided Kemptville would be where they called home and they started their family on Clothier Street. Karl worked as a plumber and an electrician for W.A. Barnes and Sons until 1982 when he decided to start his own company with his good friend Robert Brooks. Brooks and Cryderman’s Heating, Plumbing and Electrical continues to thrive today, with David and Allan who continue to follow in their father’s passion for work in the trades. Karl continued to work almost everyday until his passing. Karl loved his work and he had a great deal of pride in what he did. He was living the dream, doing what he loved. Karl and Ellen enjoyed their travels across the USA and Canada either by car, sometimes with the little camper or on bus tours. They were avid square dancers, helping form the Grenville Gremlins club. They enjoyed camping, dancing and spending time with family sharing a meal that would include lots of deserts along with lots of stories and always with much joy. Karl was able to stay home during his final months of declining health with the help of some very special and gifted caregivers and Doctors that made this possible for Karl. We will be forever grateful for their support. Karl was content and comfortable in his own home, that he himself built and where he was the happiest. Karl was laid to rest, next to his wife in the South Gower Cemetery surrounded by family. He and his smile will be missed by many.

Peacefully at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital in the early morning hours of Tuesday, November 27th, 2018; Jacqueline Marie Gaudreau of Renfrew; formerly of Vankleek Hill passed away at the age of 73 years. Beloved wife of the late Marcel Gaudreau (May 1, 2012). Dearly loved and devoted mother of Karina Dewar (Alex) of Rhoddy’s Bay and Kristine Dewar (Kurt Phillion) of Arnprior. Cherished and proud “Grandma” of Kyle (Brittany), Dean (Natron Persaud), Julie, Paige and Layne and “Great-Grandma” of Addelynn.

Having grown up in Worcester, Massachusetts, Jackie later met the love of her life and moved to Ontario where Vankleek Hill became her longtime home. Marcel’s retirement would bring the couple to Renfrew to be closer to their children and grandchildren. She was also a devout Roman Catholic who lived by the one commandment. “Do unto others as you would have them do to you” to the very end of her life. She was truly a remarkable lady and will be missed by the many who had the opportunity to know her as a friend.

He and Margret presented the CAW Earth Day Program to area schools for a number of years.

Miss you and love you everyday Loving Grandsons Jamie, Brian and Chris

MOTHER ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT FIRES IN THE STOVEPIPE EVERETT'S JOB TENDING TO FINDLAY OVAL WAS SHORT-LIVED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
Mother lived in constant dread that one night our old log house would burn to the ground and take all of us in our beds with it. Now that winter was upon us, and the Findlay Oval was raging day and night, she said it wasn't a case of "if," it was a case of "when." Father, of course, said that was pure nonsense. He had been looking after the fires in the Haneman household since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, and he hadn't burned the place down yet! Fire in the stovepipe was a common occurrence, and when that happened, Mother immediately tore through the house like a reindeer, gathering up the
family Bible, photo albums and the sugar bowl holding her egg money, ready to flee the house if the blazing stovepipe got out of hand. Father, of course, simply threw salt into the stove, and on occasion put on his leather mitts, separated two stove pipes, placed a tin pie plate between them, immediately choking the fire. It worked every time. He did this as calmly as if he were just lighting his pipe or taking another cup of green tea. Father said if Mother was so sure the house was going to go up in flames with him tending the fire, he would be glad to give up the job to her. Mother considered the offer for barely a few seconds and then said she thought it would be good training for Everett to start looking after the fires at night. Without as much as consulting with my brother, he was told the job
"Father said if Mother was so sure the house was going to go up in flames with him tending the fire, he would be glad to give up the job to her." started right then and there. Father never cast an eye toward the stove when he got up from the rocking chair, folded the Ottawa Farm Journal, and headed for the bedroom. Everett was in charge. When it came time for the rest of us to go to bed, Mother just nodded toward Everett, and he went to the stove and began stoking it for the long cold night ahead. The only heat we had in the entire house came from the Findlay Oval. The stove pipe snaked through a hole in the ceiling, went into the upstairs hall, which really was my sister Audrey's and
my bedroom, and then went through the chimney, taking the heat with it. I could hear Everett slamming the stove lids and then locking down the fire box. The fire was fixed for the night, or at least Everett thought so. Well! The next morning, you could see your breath upstairs. I went over to the stove pipe where my underwear was draped over the back of a chair, where I hoped it would be nice and warm when I put it on. It felt like it had just been brought in off the clothesline from outside! I could hear Mother banging pots in the kitchen, and then she came to the
t e e h k y a t m r a p y holida
never said a word, she also kept glancing at the chimney, ready to scoop up whatever precious possessions she could carry, just in case her predictions came to pass, and we had to flee our old log house with little more than the clothes on our backs.

bottom of the stairs and ordered Everett to "get down here at once." The water in the pail on the bake table, brought in fresh from the pump the night before was frozen solid, and the kitchen was colder than billy-o. Mother asked Everett when he got up through the night to add a log to the Findlay Oval. Everett said he didn't know he had to. Father was already out to the barns, and you didn't have to be a university graduate to know he had made no attempt at bringing the fire in the stove to life. Well, Everett's duties with tending to the night fire were over. That night Father was back at bringing the Findlay Oval up to raging, and although Mother
